Damn these look sweet! 

I'll definitely be picking one of these up at some point. 

I've been meaning to grab a repro Pro controller for a while, might as well get one of these RF beauties. 

 I sell via eBay as well, which might be easier for UK.  I think I have 4 or 5 controllers left for sale.

Just want to say I finally got around to installing one of the two kits I ordered on a Starwander Pro Controller. Been busy with other stuff and was scared off a bit by all the warnings about the fragile ribbon cable. It did look about as strong as a twist tie, but I was very ginger with it, and got through the mod without snapping the cable. I wanted to thank @grips03 for making such a clean mod with very thorough installation instructions. Even though I didn't have all the recommended size drill bits, I compensated by rounding down and enlarging stuff when needed using a thin round file. Everything came out looking very clean IHMO. The screws that secure the PCB on the back of the controller match the color of the controller almost perfectly. A few pictures:

Given how well this went, I'll probably install the second kit in my other Starwander controller soon. I was going to do it in a regular controller so I'd have one virgin pro controller left, but the aesthetics are so clean I don't really care about that now. I'd rather have two full-featured controllers ?

 

Oh, and a little testing confirmed Zero 5 and Raiden are much more relaxing games after this mod.

Glad it worked well.  The other game rapid fire made more fun for me was Trevor McFur in the Crescent Galaxy as I was able to make it further in the game and see more of it.

 

I usually install the led on the outside of the top case.
